human rights watch

Om mig

Hello my name is samuel kermashahi and I work for freedom, human rights and equality between men and women, I support Israel and Kurdish friends, I'll say my opinion is a liberal, I believe in liberal social democracy.

I am so sad when related violence increases dramatically in society against women, I think that if we all get together people and fight against violence can be very powerful, unfortunately there are foreign people living in Sweden can not learn Swedish law and rules of their body lives in Sweden, but their brains are still living in the Middle East ..

British man who fought alongside Kurds against ISIS talks to TV

The Kurdish YPG were hailed heroes in the fight against Islamic State. But one Brit who fought alongside them says that crackdown on Kurdish separatists will put their entire mission at risk.

He held a regular job in London and had no military experience. But this 28-year-old former trader from Cambridgeshire remembers what drew him to Syria to fight against the Islamic State.

It was "watching the rise of the Islamic State and being utterly appalled," Macer Gifford told Channel 4 News. "I was appalled at them, at their ideology, appalled that the British and American fighters had no plan to combat them and wanting to make a difference."

Since returning from the battlefield last month, Mr Gifford is eager to raise awareness of the plight of the Kurds, who are seen by many as the unsung heroes of the fight against the IS. But during that time something has changed.
